It certainly looks like
Catharosia (tiny, shiny black, very long petiole, diffuse colour on wings with white tips) - well found :) But I hardly ever see these so let's wait for some other confirmation too :)

Yes, they are not too common in the area where I collect. I had only two before and last year I didn't find any.

Catharosia is fine but the calyptra is very blackish.
SO it must be pygmea.
You won't believe it, but albisquama is even much smaller !
